Driving your vehicle
Occasional off-road use such as estab-
lished unpaved roads and trails is OK. It
is always important when traveling off-
highway that the driver carefully reduce
speed to a level that does not exceed the
safe operating speed for those condi-
tions. In general, off-road conditions pro-
vide less traction and braking effective-
ness than normal road conditions. The
driver must be especially alert to avoid
driving on slopes which tilt the vehicle to
either side.

However it was not designed for
driving in challenging off-road con-
ditions. Driving in conditions that
exceed
the
vehicle's
intended
design or the driver's experience
level may result in severe injury or
death.
This is called tight corner brake effect.
Tight corner brake effect is a unique
characteristic of four-wheel drive vehicles
caused by the difference in tire rotation at
the four wheels and the zero-degree
alignment of the front wheels and sus-
pension.
These factors must be carefully consid-
ered when driving off-road. Keeping the
vehicle in contact with the driving surface
and under control in these conditions is
always the driver's responsibility for the
safety of him/herself and his or her pas-
sengers.
Sharp turns at low speeds should be car-
ried out with caution.
